Are there any good search engines that _highlight_ the key words that you inputted? I ask only because I’ve noticed that when you run a search, pages that have more words have a higher probability of getting a hit, which means you have to sort through all of that junk only to find that it’s totally irrelavant! Any ideas? Thanks. ---

Just use Google, and view the cached page rather than following the direct link. The cached page is a copy of the original page, stored on the Google server. The search keywords are highlighted. Keep in mind that the cached page may not be up to date, and that the links may not work perfectly. Once you find the right page, it’s probably better to go back to the search result page and follow the direct link. ---

Thanks, **scr4**. I ran a few test runs and the cached Google seems to work very well. That helps a lot!!!
